    Nowadays, any noun can be verbed.

      no. and to make it worse, she didn't say it once, but at least 5 times in the same conversation. What, because I'm the IT guy you think that saying "ping somebody" makes you sound like you are using relevant terms? jeesh I felt like reaching through the phone to slap her. I ping a computer, I do NOT ping other people, I do not want to know that much info about them..... :-D

      Common sense is not a gift it's a curse. Those of us who have it have to deal with those that don't.... Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

        And by "favorite," of course I mean most disliked. "I'll reach out to you about ___________________." "Where are we with ______________________." "We need to have a conversation about ______________." "________________ resources ____________________." Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

          Could have been worse ... She might have done a Unix course and wanted to finger them or touch them.

              You probably also don't scan other people's ports ... Although it would be funny, I think, in a nerdish way, to map various scanning techniques to something meaningful in non-tech terms.

                    I did a quick scan through the thread and was surprised not to see this one: Down-sized That's one that really makes me cringe, especially since that's the term that was used 2 or 3 times when my last employer was showing me the door! :rolleyes:

                        I almost stopped here because you can't beat "synergy" for the worst. But I got plenty of laughs from the rest of the comments. Thx.

                            I had a manager once who wanted me to "DMA" the data from the floppy drives of the time into memory.
